Answer:

Aneuploidy is caused by nondisjunction, which occurs when pairs of homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids fail to separate during meiosis. The loss of a single chromosome from a diploid genome is called monosomy (2n-1), while the gain of one chromosome is called trisomy (2n+1).

The Answer is:

Loss of pair chromosomes from the diploid set is called​ Monosomy.

A monosomy is the absence of one chromosome from a homologous pair.

  • An instance of aneuploidy, that is a chromosomal number imbalance, is monosomy.
  • As a result of errors made during cell division, we may discover excess or absent chromosomes in the cells. 
  • Humans typically possess pairs of chromosomes, one from each parent.
  • This results in a total of 46 chromosomes, which are primarily found of cells.
  • There are 45 chromosomes rather than 46 when one pair of them is missing, which results in anomalies.
  • Remember that monosomy in adults is extremely uncommon because it usually results in the death of the embryo.
  • It's interesting that many monosomy cases, like cri du chat syndrome, only have one or two chromosomes missing.
  • "Turner syndrome, where the short p locus of chromosome 5 is missing"
  • "cri du chat syndrome, in which the tip of the shorter p arm of chromosome Five is missing"
  • "1p36 deletion syndrome, in which the short p arm of chromosome one is missing", are examples of monosomy in humans.
